Daughter Gives Color Blind Dad the Gift of Color
On Father's Day, Twitter user Mariah (@supatmiaa) shared a heartwarming video of her dad receiving a precious gift from her: color-blind glasses.
In her post, Mariah, from Houston, Texas, said:
"My dads color blind and literally since I can remember he’s talked about wanting the glasses that help the color blind but they’ve always been super expensive. So this Father’s Day I decided to give him the gift of color. I love you so much dad. Happy fathers day. "

The gift of color, from afar
In a follow-up tweet, Mariah shared that she wasn't physically present when the gift was presented to her dad.She is currently serving in the US Army and haven't seen her father in over a year.
Just so everyone knows. I was not there when this video was filmed. I actually haven’t seen my dad in over a year cause I’m currently serving active duty in the US Army. If I was there I DEFINITELY would’ve given him the biggest hug.I LOVE MY DAD. And would do anything to hug him— mariah. (@supatmiaa) June 23, 2020
Her dad's reaction is just the sweetest, purest thing. Mariah shared two follow-up tweets showing her dad's text message and the second part of the video:

Sharing the gift of color to everyone
The color-blind glasses were from Pilestone, a specialty eyewear store for color blind people.
The company was quick to notice Mariah's tweet and responded by offering free color-blind glasses to everyone—and they ship worldwide!
